Interesting! I had no idea. Thanks!

My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.

What? A person like this who very obviously follows the spirit and letter of the law has priors?

Was it in a courtroom with a fringe on the flag? Because that doesn’t count since it’s maritime law.

Are you saying his theme song is a lie? Because it says he’s going to take pollution down to zero!

…or you could use one of these search engines that are not for profit.

People keep acting like Kagi, desite being part of the capitalist system and even celebrating how profitable they are, are the good guys. And I am tired of seeing people giving them free advertising on Lemmy.

Here’s Kagi using some terrible marketing copy right out of freshman year business school to talk about how them making profits by people paying them to do what can be done for free benefits everyone:

We are also thrilled to report that we have achieved profitability. This significant milestone is a testament to our sustainable growth and fiscal responsibility. It demonstrates that our approach of offering a premium, ad-free search experience resonates with users who support a service aligning with their values. Becoming profitable allows us to reinvest in the business, further enhancing our offerings and ensuring that we can continue to provide a top-notch search experience.

Same thing you can do with half a hole. Fix it to keep your mind from wandering.

See, the problem with stupid lies like this is that the modlogs are public.

And now it’s time for you to get onto one of your sockpuppet accounts to talk about how mean people are being to you.

Then no one would see them make a mockery of trans people.

But at least you tried to solve other people’s addictions to Lemmy by telling them to commit murder/suicide. Multiple people. Very kind of you.

Yeah, I tried reading Chaucer untranslated once. Gave up quickly.

People wanting to get out of paying child support seem much more common in my experience.

I think you just did.

I would not be at all surprised if he thought that was the language Shakespeare used.

Because I have seen Early Modern English called Middle English sooooo many times.

Imagine the length if he did care!

Do you doubt a historian on YouTube?!

Well he doesn’t care what you say!

I’m just glad he said thanks.

Or, you know, the thousands of other languages that existed.

Sorry, distilling everything indigenous down to the Cherokee is a pet peeve of mine.

I don’t know where “here” is, but Wakefield sure did damage in a lot of the Western world. And if you are aware that it is a relevant connection in other parts of the world, I’m not sure why you thought I was talking about specifically where you live.

It feels like you’re just trying to excuse parents who would rather let their child die from something they could have vaccinated them for rather than have an autistic child. If they just can’t bare raising an autistic child, put them up for adoption. Even foster care is better than dying from measles. I think you need to read what that’s like.

Well then you read it wrong. These are parents who have no problem letting their child die from measles because the alternative is they have autism, which the parents think is worse.

And I’m not sure why you’re not aware of that antivaxxer stance.
